Vikings defensive tackle Linval Joseph shot after game

The Vikings announced that defensive tackle Linval Joseph was shot in the leg last night at a nightclub after the game.

“Following last night’s preseason game, Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Linval Joseph was an innocent bystander to the shooting that took place at the 400 SoundBar in downtown Minneapolis,” the statement read. “Linval suffered a minor injury during the shooting when a stray bullet struck his calf. He was immediately taken to the hospital where he was treated for his injury and released. He is expected to return to his coaches and teammates this week.

“The entire Vikings organization is extremely thankful that Linval was not seriously hurt, and our thoughts are with all of the victims of this shooting. The team will defer any further comment to the Minneapolis Police Department during its ongoing investigation.”

Whether he’s able to come back and play is secondary at the moment, as he’s fortunate to have suffered only minor injuries.

Fits in with Minnesota already by putting himself near trouble. The team didn’t lead the NFL in arrests last year by coincidence. Wait for the rest to come out and I wouldn’t be surprised to hear it was one of the coaches who is fed up with his poor performances already.

It’s Minnesota so you know he wasn’t going to find a dime in that club, just fatties and meth-mouths. He probably asked Bridgewater to end all the pain of being on that pathetic franchise but the gun slipped in Teddy’s cute little hands.

I understand why athletes go to places like this: they are treated like celebrities and get whatever they want. I can’t say I wouldn’t go if I had that kind of power. What I don’t understand are average joes who go to those places, spend money they don’t have, stand around for hours trying to look tough so the girls come to them, and leave with nothing. Such a waste.

After that resounding preseason victory against the mighty Oakland Raiders, yes, we’re Superbowl-bound, lets go clubbing to celebrate! While the Green Bay Packers were safely in their beds, sound asleep, or up late studying their playbooks.

I’ve been a Minnesota Viking 4life since 1968 (translated means glutton for punishment) and as I have always said where the Minnesota Vikings are concerned, no matter who the owner is or who the players are or who the coaching staff is-“it’s always something”!

The moron got shot in a club and how much you want to bet it was part of his entourage or a group he was confronting after the whole story comes out. Minnesota Vikings the gift that keeps on giving!

Was it part of Mettenberger’s “entourage or a group he was confronting” that got him sucker punched in a bar last month?
